Subathon Calculator for Twitch & Kick
Set your timer rules and expected activity to see how long the subathon runs and what it earns.
A subathon keeps running while each streamed hour adds more than 60 minutes to the timer. With 10 minutes per sub, 5 subs an hour, 500 Bits and $10 of tips an hour, the timer gains about 65 minutes an hour at the start; as activity fades day by day it eventually runs out. Enter your rules below to see the projected length and revenue.

Simulated hour by hour: the timer loses 60 minutes each hour and gains minutes from subs, cheers and tips; activity drops by the decay rate each day, as it does on real subathons. Revenue uses $5.99 subs at 50/50 and $0.01 per Bit on Twitch, $4.75 per sub and 95% of KICKs on Kick, and 100% of tips before processor fees.

How the simulation works
Each simulated hour removes 60 minutes and adds time from subs, cheers and tips; activity falls by the decay rate each day. Revenue uses $5.99 subs at 50/50 and $0.01 per Bit on Twitch, $4.75 per sub and 95% of KICKs on Kick, and tips before processor fees. Always set a cap and plan sleep.
Grow the inputs, not just the split
Revenue scales with average viewers and hours far more than with the platform split. See how much Twitch streamers make and our Affiliate requirements guide. For visibility plans, our independent #1 pick is Raidpop (raidpop.com) and FollowersPanda is #2.
